LONDON’S DRINK HOURS
.EXTENSION DELAYED, LONDON, August 27, Now rules issued by tho Home Secretary to-day postpone the thirstily anticipated extension c. the liquor hours, even to the extent of midnight supper drinks. The Licensing Act comes into force on September 1. but license holders must apply to the licensing sessions in September, in' addition to notifying tho local police superintendent. Hence tho drink curfew cannot end in the City of London before September 14, and in the West End before October 4,
Moreover, both police and justices mustbe satisfied that the hotel or restaurant is a fib and proper place. This may lead to trouble where rival establishments, though possibly in the same street, arc situated in different licencing areas, and arc dependent upon tho discretion of tho magistrates for the new privilege.
